You left your throne in heaven

to be born as a human baby

in squalor and poverty.

   Jesus, you did that for me.



You lived here on this earth

You knew what it was like

to taste disappointment and rejection.

Not even your friends stuck by you.

   Jesus, you did that for me.



You were nailed to a cross,

in agony and shame,

despite having done nothing but love.


   Jesus, you did that for me.



You died and rose to life again

defeating the enemy of our souls 

once and for all.


   Jesus, you did that for me.



You have gone to the darkest of places

and to the greatest of lengths

to rescue those you love.


   Jesus, you did that for me.
